[SBB] Violet-green Swallows



Hello SBBers,
 
Today, 27 February 2006 at 11 a.m., at the Water Reclamation Ponds on Church Ave. in Gilroy/San Martin area, there were about 100 swallows foraging over both ponds.  Every swallow that came close enough to identify was a VIOLET-GREEN SWALLOW (bright white above the eyes), although many stayed too far out to ID.  There seems to be a pattern here that every time there is bad weather on the coast, we are flooded with swallows at ponds and reservoirs; and when the weather clears up, only a small number of swallows remain near water bodies.  However, as the temperature rises, many can be seen in the area, foraging in small groups and investigating nesting sites.
